do the wheel yourself I dont know how but I just did it this past week. I got the new(used) rim, laid the wheel flat, put the rim on top, transfered the spokes up 1 at a time. Then take it in to be trued.
I did this and when I took it to the shop one of the eyelets broke and back to square one. So the shop owner felt bad, he sold me the replacement rim, so he gave me another rim and nice black spokes. Did the wheel a 2nd time replacing each spoke 1 at a time. $20 rim and spokes, $20 final dish and true. Thats my cash sucking miyata 916 story. Hope it helps.
